Not sure if you have already, but mapping CapsLock as another Ctrl-key (you can do it in SaX2) really helps too — it means you don’t have to move your hand down that extra bit (particularly great on an ergonomic keyboard — practically no movement at all for your hands, just fingers), and so it’s great for all the emacs shortcuts (though I mainly use a lot of these in the shell).

I knew that emacs now can be built with gtk+, and it’s an improvement over Xaw, but I don’t think many emacs users actually use the gtk+ file chooser. I think we all just use C-x C-f. I do, at any rate. You then select the file you want in the minibuffer, with tab completion and all that.

emacs is the king…. I also do not like xemacs, but seems there is a userbase out there
